my likes and dislikes

I have to admit that I did not enjoy reading Shaviro's book "Connected." Perhaps it's because I was finishing the last couple chapters in Weinberger's "Small Pieces Loosely Joined," which is an easy read. So switching over to Shaviro was a struggle. After discussing Shaviro's book in class though, I understand what he was going for. I applaud his creativity in trying to make his book resemble that of Web 2.o. but as a reader it was kind of frustrating.

Also, I have to admit to my new love for Google Reader. I cannot believe I have been using the Internet for all these years and have never known about so many of these different sites and tools! I am sadly a very disorganized person (even though I try real hard not to be) so using tools like Google Reader of Del.icio.us to help keep my sites organized truly makes my heart smile. Although Google Reader may not be as visually appealing as the actual blog sites, they sure beat having to jump from blog to blog to read everyone's entries.
